good, I personally don’t like it when captains pay for my dinner and always tell them I don’t want them to. I find it weird that even though I make a good amount of money, our culture is to buy the FO dinner. If I can’t afford the steak, then I’m not gonna buy it. If I catch a captains mistake inflight and he in return offers to buy me a beer, sure. Other than that, I can budget myself appropriately.. I can see the exception for half wingers though.
